Chapter 128 Plaster Liquid Humanoid

Chapter 128 Plaster Liquid Humanoid

"Don't be nervous, Liangzi, I'm just taking a look." Lin Yi quickly comforted him.

"What the hell are you looking at? You can't look at this thing for too long. What if you accidentally open the wrong door, who knows what terrible things will happen!" Wei Liang said quickly, his heart in his throat.

But he soon felt relieved.

Because he found that Lin Yi was really just observing the door handle, and he even put his hands behind his back to reassure him. From his angle, it looked like a presbyopic, hunchbacked old man checking the door lock.

Lin Yi was indeed checking the door lock. Following the visual remnant in the previous exposure and frame drop vision, he found the corresponding area on the door handle.

Soon he found some residual white plaster-like powder on the door handle.

Unlike the white powder particles that were similar to white mist, carried pollution capabilities, and were invisible to the naked eye and absorbed by Mao Feiyang and then transmitted to the four of them, this type of white gypsum-like powder particles looked like the remains of dry chalk dust after some of it was blown away.

Lin Yi believed that this should be the result of tomato sauce being transformed into plaster fragments after being exposed to sunlight and then shattered.

"This was the thing that was emitting green gas just now..." Lin Yi rubbed his chin and began to think, while Wei Liang beside him did not intend to urge him.

There's nothing I can do. After all, I don't really need to pee.

Lin Yi suddenly thought of something and asked Li Huiyuan: "Li Huiyuan, can you tell what this is?"

Li Huiyuan glanced at the door handle and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She said naturally, "Isn't this a door handle?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi could only laugh at himself, thinking that he was overthinking. How could Li Huiyuan see clues that even he didn't notice?

So he wrote down a few clues here and prepared to go to the bathroom, but at this moment, Li Huiyuan seemed to be attracted by something. She suddenly frowned and moved closer, and uttered a soft "Huh".

"Student Lin..." Li Huiyuan suddenly said, "It seems like there is green smoke coming out of here."

The one who reacted faster than Lin Yi was Wei Liang. He was originally looking around, but when he heard Li Huiyuan's words, a hint of alertness immediately flashed in his eyes. Then he shook his head helplessly, shook his sleeves like an old general in an opera, and raised his hands to cover his ears.

Lin Yi glanced at Wei Liang and said, "Oh, where is it?"

"It's right here." Li Huiyuan pointed to the keyhole on the door handle.

But Lin Yi could not see anything. Despite this, he still looked thoughtful: "What else did you see?"

"Nothing, only green smoke." Li Huiyuan shook her head.

"What about the door? Is there anything unusual about it?"

"Not on the door."

No... Lin Yi couldn't help but feel confused: "Okay, I understand."

"Ah! It's gone!" Li Huiyuan suddenly exclaimed, "The green smoke is gone again!"

"No, wait a minute..." Lin Yi interrupted, "I'm a little confused, let me sort it out."

Sometimes there is, sometimes not...

What the hell?
Could it be that Li Huiyuan was also having hallucinations?
"It's just like a fire that has burned out." Li Huiyuan said in a low voice.

The flame burned out? Extinguished? Lin Yi suddenly felt his eyes light up.

"It's ketchup!"

The ketchup in the door gap will petrify into plaster-like fragments when exposed to light, and then the plaster fragments will shatter and disappear...

"If this process is a 'burning' process, then what comes out during the process is this 'green smoke'?"

"I was able to see this green smoke just now, firstly because I was hallucinating, and secondly because it was smoking all the time."

"And Li Huiyuan can see the green smoke because... after being contaminated, she has been in a state where she can see more than I can?"

"Soon after she noticed the green smoke, the ketchup had finished 'burning' and stopped smoking."

Suddenly his thoughts became clear, and Lin Yi felt that his scope of cognition had broadened.

But there were still some things he couldn't figure out, like... he could see the almost dried green bloodstains on the door, but Li Huiyuan couldn't see it in her eyes.

"Perhaps... both her and my vision are limited for our own reasons. To some extent, she can serve as an extension of my vision!"

"Is this what Mr. Tian meant by 'cannon fodder'?"

Cannon fodder is not just for the purpose of sacrifice.

Those who put themselves in dangerous situations to eliminate risks for those who come later can also be considered cannon fodder.

However, calling them cannon fodder is an exaggeration of the danger.

And the key point is... Tian Bufan had already predicted the current situation the first time he saw Li Huiyuan.

"Fortunately, Mr. Tian is one of us..." Lin Yi couldn't help but think, if Tian Bufan was a schemer, then every step he took would have been calculated by Tian Bufan.

Even, once Tian Bufan came into contact with a new "chess piece", he could immediately deploy a new strategy...

This feeling of being in control of everything is what makes him most terrifying.

Lin Yi suddenly had an idea and wondered what Tian Bufan was doing today.

How much valuable information resources can we obtain when we communicate in the evening?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly became excited, but the next moment when he felt excited and expectant, another thought suddenly popped into his mind -

"Lin Yi, why are you curious about the campus?"

This thought was like a bucket of cold water poured down on him, instantly extinguishing the emotions that had just been ignited in him.

"Yeah! Isn't exploring the campus what Mr. Tian wants to do? Why has it become something I'm 'interested' in?"

"I should have been exploring the campus to save Maozi, but why did I start to take the initiative...?"

"Is it that indescribable thing on campus that is affecting me? Or... or am I really beginning to develop an uncontrollable curiosity and desire to explore the campus?"

"I……"

Lin Yi's breathing gradually became rapid, and his will began to be in a state of division, as if there were two little people arguing in his mind. One little person asked him to continue to explore passively, and the other little person urged him to use Li Huiyuan to explore the boundaries of the rules on campus... His head began to feel dizzy again, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

He saw the door handle at hand and seemed to hear Li Huiyuan's concerned greeting.

"I..." He held his breath, suppressing the two quarreling villains in his heart and interrupting his increasingly rapid breathing rhythm.

"calm."

"calm!"

"calm!!!"

Lin Yi took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the air in the world into his abdomen.

He held his breath and let the air mixed with the scent of grass and earth swirl in his chest. He kept telling himself to stay calm, then slowly stood up.

During this process, the various complex emotions that were constantly stirring in his heart were gradually cleared away, and he felt that the noise in his ears was getting less and less...

In the end, only the anxious calls of Li Huiyuan and Wei Liang were left.

"Mr. Lin (Student Lin)...Mr. Lin (Student Lin)..."

Their voices were very far away, and then they came closer and closer. Finally, when Lin Yi came to his senses, the voices were already right next to his ears.

Lin Yi discovered that Li Huiyuan was indeed calling him, and Wei Liang was indeed calling him, but he was the only one who pulled himself out of the whirlpool of thoughts after falling into it.

He patted his head with his palm, feeling a psychological headache: "Is there something wrong with my body? The frequency of exposure quality has been increasing over the past day..."

"I'm fine." Lin Yi waved his hand and looked at his watch.

13: 02.

He soothed her, "Let's go to the bathroom."

Wei Liang couldn't help but mutter, "Lao Lin, do you have a conflict with toilets? Why do I have to trigger some extra plot every time I go to the toilet?"

"Maybe..." Lin Yi was also a little helpless. Some warnings suddenly appeared in front of him, which were completely beyond his control.

"If all else fails, how about we get a bottle and you do it quietly in the classroom?"

"..." Lin Yi's mouth twitched slightly, "Have you tried it?"

Wei Liang shook his head directly: "I haven't tried it, mainly because I don't dare to, for fear of being beaten."

After passing Class 1 of Group B, there is a corner. Going further in from the corner, there is a fork in the road. On one side is the bathroom, and on the other side is the elevator of the teaching building.

The men's restroom is opposite the corridor, while the women's restroom requires going around a 90-degree angle around the men's restroom to reach it.

Lin Yi and Wei Liang entered the men's restroom. Li Huiyuan hesitated for a moment and went to the women's restroom.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with the men's restroom. Lin Yi didn't encounter any accidents when he used the restroom, and he didn't even have any hallucinations. The whole thing was so normal that it made him, who was used to encountering danger, feel unreal for a moment.

Beside him, Wei Liang, who had just gotten his first enlightenment, had his eyebrows raised, and the mothballs in the urinal were spinning like a happy little top.

Lin Yi was thinking about what to do next. Should he go to the elevator, check out the corridor bridge, or climb the stairs?
After he finished, he went to wash his hands, but when he was done he found that Wei Liang was still peeing.

"Liangzi?" he called out, but Wei Liang seemed not to have heard him and remained motionless in the "first ejaculation" position in front of the urinal.

An ominous premonition instantly filled his heart. After he washed his hands, he looked up and suddenly saw "Wei Liang" standing in front of him with an expressionless face.

Lin Yi was startled, and his pupils contracted and dilated violently, but he did not say anything. Instead, he silently took a step back and let his body enter the area covered by sunlight.

The washbasin in the bathroom of the teaching building is not inside the bathroom, but in a public area. There is a mirror above the washbasin, and next to the mirror is the ventilation window of the men's bathroom.

"Wei Liang" was standing on the other side of the ventilation window, looking at Lin Yi like a body without a soul. It opened its mouth woodenly, but no sound came out.

It looked like it had a serious problem, and Lin Yi subconsciously had serious doubts about its identity as "Wei Liang", so he didn't respond to him at all. He just stood in the sun to maintain a safe state and kept his eyes away from him.

"When did the problem occur this time?" Lin Yi frowned and couldn't help but recall the scene just now, "When did the layer fall off, um... Is this a problem of the layer falling off?"

It does not seem.

Because if the layer fell off, then there would definitely be some visual problems such as light and shadow collapse, and auditory problems such as the call of sea breeze and waves, but he did not encounter these problems.

"Is it just an 'ordinary' hallucination that caused my vision to penetrate the layers again and see something I shouldn't see?"

"But why the hell is this Liangzi's appearance?"

"He is not Wei Liang, absolutely not." Lin Yi shook his head secretly, confirming this thought in his heart.

Sure enough, when he was sure of his idea, the face of "Wei Liang" behind the ventilation window began to wilt like a balloon with the air sucked out of it, his facial features began to move in a disorderly manner, and finally turned into a messy, abstract appearance.

It slowly retreated to a dark corner, and then disappeared as if it melted into the darkness...

As it disappeared, Lin Yi's originally dim vision seemed to become much brighter, as if the clouds had drifted away from the sun, restoring the light to the originally dim earth.

Lin Yi seemed to "sense" its departure. He raised his head and looked towards the ventilation window. Then he saw its appearance before it completely disappeared - a pure white, wriggling liquid creature.

If we use the metal liquid robot in the Terminator as the closest analogy, the form of the "Wei Liang" just now, after his body could no longer be maintained, was a bit like a "plaster liquid humanoid creature".

In fact, Lin Yi was not sure whether it could be defined as a "living thing".

"Fuck!" He couldn't help but curse in his heart, "What the hell is that?!"

"When I thought it was Liangzi, it looked like Liangzi. When I was sure it was definitely not Liangzi, it couldn't even maintain the outline of a human being!"

"Could it be that it is a layered creature that uses my 'cognition' to anchor its 'own form'?" Lin Yi directly gave two conceptual names in a conjecture. The appearance of these two names was so smooth that it didn't seem like they were accidentally created by him.

This ability to accurately name things is more like what Tian Bufan usually does to make it easier for himself to handle things...

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and while silently repeating his name and student number and "Liangzi is in the toilet" in his mind, he walked into the men's restroom and looked towards the urinal where Wei Liang originally went to the toilet.

However, Wei Liang was not there at all.
